The periodic table is a columnar structure that organizes different elements into groups based on how they behave. The elements in the periodic table of today are ordered according to the periodic law. The elements are organized in the modern periodic table in increasing order of their
(a)

Answer to Problem 14LC
Alkaline earth metal
Explanation of Solution
The atomic number of Barium is 56 and itsouter shell electronic configuration is,
The last electron in the s-subshell, so it is ans-block element. The outer shell or highest occupied energy level contains2electrons; thus, it belongs to group 2A. The group 2A elements are called alkaline earth metals.
Thus, Barium is an alkaline earth metal.
(b)
Interpretation:Lithium to be identified as an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or halogen.

(b)

Answer to Problem 14LC
Alkali metal
Explanation of Solution
The atomic number of Lithium is 3 and itsouter shell electronic configuration is,
The last electron in the s-subshell, so it is ans-block element. The outer shell or highest occupied energy level contains 1 electron; thus, it belongs to group 1A. The group 1A elements are called alkali metal
Thus, Lithium is an alkali metal.
(c)
Interpretation:Chlorine to be identified as an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or halogen.
Concept introduction:
The periodic table is a columnar structure that organizes different elements into groups based on how they behave. The elements in the periodic table of today are ordered according to the periodic law. The elements are organized in the modern periodic table in increasing order of their atomic number.
(c)

Answer to Problem 14LC
Halogen
Explanation of Solution
The atomic number of Chlorine is 17 and itsouter shell electronic configuration is,
The last electron in the p-subshell, so it is a p-block element. The outer shell or highest occupied energy level contains 7electrons; thus, it belongs to group 7A. The group 7A elements are called halogens
Thus, chlorine is a halogen.
(d)
Interpretation:Berylliumis to be identified as an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or halogen.

Answer to Problem 14LC
Alkaline earth metal
Explanation of Solution
The atomic number of Beryllium is 4 and itsouter shell electronic configuration is,
The last electron is in the s-subshell, so it is ans-block element. The outer shell or highest occupied energy level contains 2electrons; thus, it belongs to group 2A. The group 2A elements are called alkaline earth metals
Thus, beryllium is an alkaline earth metal.

HOOC H₂NIC H 川 CH3 CH,CH3 Draw the Newman projection in staggered conformation for isoleucine by viewing the molecule along the C-2-C-3 bond. 1. Edit the Newman projection on the canvas. 2. Replace the appropriate hydrogens with the appropriate -CH3 or other groups. 3. If you need to start over, Undo or choose a Newman projection from the Templates toolbar (bottom). Important: Never delete the hydrogen atoms or bonds directly attached to the template, and do not move them by dragging or dropping them. That will break the projections structures. Only replace them! ▸ View Available Hint(s) 0 2 H± 3D EXP. L ד י CONT. 2 H 0 N оarrow_forward
- Use the literature Ka value of the acetic acid, and the data below to answer these questions. Note: You will not use the experimental titration graphs to answer the questions that follow. Group #1: Buffer pH = 4.35 Group #2: Buffer pH = 4.70 Group #3: Buffer pH = 5.00 Group #4: Buffer pH = 5.30 Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, the buffer pH provided and the literature pKa value of acetic acid to perform the following: a) calculate the ratios of [acetate]/[acetic acid] for each of the 4 groups buffer solutions above. b) using the calculated ratios, which group solution will provide the best optimal buffer (Hint: what [acetate]/[acetic acid] ratio value is expected for an optimal buffer?) c) explain your choicearrow_forwardHow would you prepare 1 liter of a 50 mM Phosphate buffer at pH 7.5 beginning with K3PO4 and 1 M HCl or 1 M NaOH?
